Valves for Nuclear Power Plants — Montevideo
Montevideo anchors Uruguay's industrial base — ANCAP's La Teja Refinery (50,000 bpd, Uruguay's only refinery, processing Angolan and Venezuelan crude) requires API 600 gate valves, API 526 safety relief valves, and ASME B16.34 process valves; UPM's Paso de los Toros pulp mill (2.1 MT/yr bleached eucalyptus kraft pulp — the world's largest single-line pulp mill, commissioned 2023, USD 2.7 billion investment) requires knife gate valves for pulp stock, SS 316L butterfly valves for bleach plant, and Hastelloy C-276 valves for chlorine dioxide service; Montes del Plata (Stora Enso / Arauco JV, 1.3 MT/yr BEK pulp, Conchillas) adds further kraft process valve demand; Uruguay's growing offshore wind (30% of electricity from wind, 55% from hydro) and planned natural gas interconnection with Argentina add power and utility valve demand; Vajra Industrial Solutions supplies Montevideo-based procurement with API and ASME-compliant valves, shipping via Montevideo port with MERCOSUR customs documentation.
ASME Section III Class 2/3 gate, globe, and check valves with N-stamp traceability for nuclear power plant balance-of-plant, auxiliary, and spent-fuel cooling systems.
